KenW Posted October 8, 2021 Share #421 Posted October 8, 2021 Mike: I made the stove as well. It's a great, well made kit. Only problem I had are with those very small, and breakable, parts to hold the pulley system. Your effort looks great. Cheers. Stuntflyer and FrankWouts 2 Ken NO PIRACY 4 ME!

Mldixon Posted October 23, 2021 Share #425 Posted October 23, 2021 Were all the deck guns on the Winnie 12 pounders? I was wondering about the upper deck guns, in case they are 6 pounders. FrankWouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QD guns are smaller. I started working on the forecastle area of the ship. The first four beams are in along with lodging knees, hanging knees, carlings, cat tails and the manger. To my count there were 32 individual pieces needed for the work so far. The manger which consists of 12 pieces was assembled as one. A card stock template along with layered blue masking tape was used to establish the location for the boards which will sit on the deck. Btw, those char lines on the bowsprit step are no longer visible. They were blocked out with some boxwood color mix that was applied before painting the manger red. Also, those arrows show where I drilled for the next gun carriage.

Stuntflyer Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share #429 Posted November 1, 2021 Using Windsor and Newton, I mixed some yellow ochre, Raw sienna and burnt umber into white until the desired boxwood color was achieved.

Stuntflyer Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share #430 Posted November 23, 2021 Fore bitt sheaves: Rather than trying to round off the existing laser cut sheave slots, I prefer to simulate the sheaves with wooded disks. There are 2 sheave slots on these bitts. One is 1/32" wide and the other is 3/64" wide. I used "plastic cutting" end mills to deepen the slots an additional 3/32". This allows for the disk to be recessed slightly after being inserted into the slot. Though not essential, I find that a milling machine makes things a lot easier when doing this kind of work. The diameter of the disks are equal to the length of the slot between the sheave holes. The thickness of the disks are the same as the width of the milled slot. This allows for a press fit into the slot without any gluing being necessary. If for some reason they are a tad loose going in, just brush in some W-O-P in order to hold the disk in place. After inserting the disk, the inside area should be painted black. Any paint that gets onto the face of the bitt can be sanded or scraped off easily with a #11 blade. For added protection you could give the outer area a coat of W-O-P to prevent the paint from seeping into the wood. The slot has been deepened an additional 3/32" which allows the disk to recess below the face of the bitt Note the orientation of the grain. This makes it easy to slice off the tiny section of the disk with a #11 blade. A helping hand to insert the disk into the slot Mike Ryland Craze, Hubac's Historian, FrankWouts and 2 others 5 Current build - Sloop Speedwell 1752 (POF) Completed builds - 18 Century Longboat (POB) , HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 (POB), HMS Winchelsea 1764 (POB) Member: Ship Model Society of New Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuntflyer Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share #439 Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Moving onto chapter 9, I decided to start with the caprail along the waist. I've completed one side. What's interesting is what I had to do in order to get the caprail close to the scroll molding which it sits against at both ends. It was tricky and took some time to do. I'm happy with the result. Each end had to be shaped like this. .

Stuntflyer Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share #448 Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Work continues on chapter nine with some of the forecastle planking completed. W-O-P has not been applied which makes it harder to see the butt joints. Hopefully you will see enough to get the idea. That center piece behind the bollards was made that way which makes it easier to hold. The grain runs port and starboard. This makes it easier to slice off that long tab after the glue dries.
